Italy’s influence in the world of design cannot be
overstated. Not only are there varying styles based on historical periods, but
there are also regional styles. The ancient arches and domes, the Renaissance
architecture, and Italian neoclassical styles have influenced how houses have
been built and furnished all over the world. And you can find beautiful
Italian-inspired furniture even if you’re shopping for discount furniture in
New Jersey.

Italian design takes the best of what’s old and new,
marrying beauty and function to give your home a smart, stylish look as well as
practicality. If you’re furnishing your living room, you can start with
variations on white that won’t overshadow the beauty of the furnishings. Using
tone-on-tone color schemes adds interest and depth to a room without detracting
from your furniture and accessories. It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford
marble entryways or parquet wood floors: Italian design has always been more
about class than ostentation.

Modern sofas and chairs influenced by Italian design often
feature leather and chrome, two materials that are not only beautiful, but very
durable. Whether you’re looking for city furniture or furniture for a house in
the country, choose accessories carefully so that each piece has its own
“space.” Even desk and table lamps should be thought of as artistic
accessories. Remember that light can drastically affect the mood and the feel
of a space. You might consider having one very special piece – a chair, work of
art, or even beautiful lighting fixture – as a nod to Italy’s glorious design
history.

Discount ESF Furniture Online and VIG Furniture both make some
beautiful leather chairs and sofas, any of which could be the centerpiece of an
Italian-inspired living room, and there are numerous manufacturers that make
tables, lighting accessories, and dining tables that beautifully meld old and
new to give your home a classy Italian flair. Take your cues from the Old World
